RADISH ES 



FIVE VARIETIES OF ESPECIAL MERIT 



Crimson Giciftt Turnip, Forcing 



An extraordinary variety having the merit of excellent quality combined with earliness and great 

 size. It grows much larger than other forcing varieties, but, unlike them, does not become pithy 

 even when fully twice as large m diameter and a week older Desirable particularly for out door 

 culture. Root turnip-shaped, color a beautiful crimson carmine; flesh firm, crisp and tender. We 

 recommend it for first out door planting and are certain it will become a favorite. See -bas^e 7.

l^arljr S^carlet XStirnip, 'Ophite Tipped^ Forcing 



Perhaps the most handsome of the forcing radishes, the symmetrical form and beautiful color 

 making it a most attractive sort and very popular as a market variety. While particularly adapted for 

 growing under glass, excellent results are obtained from out door planting. They should be used 

 when small as after reaching the size of an inch or more in diameter they gradually become pithy. 

 Root deep scarlet: with white tip About as early as Non Plus Ultra; has as small a top and may be 

 planted as closely ; it is more attractive m appearance. Cannot fail to give satisfaction as a forcing 

 radish. See page 7; also page ^i. Pkt. Sc; Oz. lOc; 2 Oz- 15c; %. Lb. 25c; Lb, 75c, 



French 'Brea.Kfct.st 



This is an olive shaped variety, with small top, of quick growth. very crisp and tender. of a beautiful 

 scarlet color, except near the tip, which is pure white. A splendid variety for the table, on account 

 of its excellent quality and its beautiful color. While this sort is frequently used for forcing, it is. we 

 think, of greater value as an out door sort; it comes to edible size very quickly It is much larger and 

 continues crisp much longer than turnip varieties, therefore it is generally very popular with Ameri- 

 can growers. The stock we offer is exceedingly pure and true and much superior to a great deal 

 that is put upon the market under this name. See page 7, also page ji. Pkt 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. ISc;

EfCLrljr L/ong Scarlett yShort lop^ lmpro*Oed 



This small topped sort is about six inches long, grows half out of the ground and is a standard 

 and excellent sort either for private gardens or market use, continuing brittle and tender until quite 

 large. The roots are very uniform in shape, smooth and very bright red in color. The flesh is 

 white and crisp. In America, this is perhaps the most popular early garden variety. The greater 

 size of the roots and their remaining crisp and tender longer than the smaller French sorts, make it 

 more satisfactory to most American gardeners. We have paid a great deal of attention to this variety 

 and have developed a strain having a porportionately smaller top and richer colored root than is 

 found in most stocks. We recommend it as one of the most profitable and satisfactory varieties.

Long XOhite Vienna^ or Lady Finger 



A very excellent white variety with long very smooth, white roots which are crisp and tender 

 and are very beautiful, particularly m contrast with the Early Long Scarlet. The two vari- 

 eties mature at so nearly the same season that they may often be had together, though the White 

 Vienna is later, larger and remains in condition longer. This variety is often sold under other 

 names, but though we offer very carefully bred and improved stock, we think it more desirable to 

 retain the old name. See page 7, also page 5^. Pkt. Sc; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; % Lb. 20c; Lb. 60c. 



MILAN TURNIPS 



The roots of the Milan turnips, the Extra Early White and the Extra Early Purple Top, come 

 to usable size quicker than those of any other sort and when young they are of most excellent quality. 

 We recommend these varieties for first plantings, which should be made as early as the season will 

 permit. All m all, our Milan turnips leave nothing more to be desired in the way of an extra early 

 garden turnip. See page 7, also page ^8. 



EXTRA EARLY WHITE MILAN. The clear white roots are very smooth, symmetrical and 

 handsome; flesh clear white, tender and sweet. Pkt. Sc; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; % Lb 30c; Lb. $1.00 



EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN. The roots are clear white, except the upper por- 

 tion, which is a beautiful purple-red. Pkt. Sc; Oz. 10c, 2 Oz, ISc; % Lb. 2Sc; Lb. 75c.
